Here is your midnight Whistle Stop Tour update.

The three days in Bellingham were a phenomenal beginning. The final evening was filled with harmonious praise, worship, intercession and declaration. Ted Hanson and Timothy flowed and various believers entered in with prayers, declarations and words.

October 31 has been declared as "Reformation Day". Timothy made the point that the "Day of the Dead" (Halloween) had been changed to a Day of New Life in and by Resurrection power.

The evening finished in a time of ministry and healing. The group then prayed over those moving on with the Tour and commissioned them to connect Bellingham to the rest of the cities down the line.

The atmosphere was electric at the train station this morning. Those who were embarking were joined by several others for a time of prayer in the packed station. When they boarded the train, they began to intercede and worship.

==============================

PORTER LEADS WORSHIP ON AMTRAK

===============================

The train porter (an Amtrak employee) noticed what they were doing and asked for a guitar. He then proceeded to LEAD WORSHIP as the train rolled down the tracks.

In Mount Vernon, well wishers who had been a the meetings came out to the station and greeted those on the train. As the train pulled out of the station, they ran along side the train with banners flying, praising God and praying for the cities down the line. WOW!

In Everett, a group of intercessors and worshipers gathered to welcome the train and passengers. With a shout, they disembarked, embraced each other and began to worship. Banners waved and singers sang as prayers for Everett and the surrounding area were offered.

=======================

THUNDER SHAKES SEATTLE

=======================

It was then that we received news that thunder had shook the Seattle area last night. This was significant because Timothy had received a word out of Samuel regarding the Lord thundering over the Philistines and putting them to flight. He shared this word at the Bellingham meetings and the group had agreed and prayed for the thunder of the Lord. What a faith builder!

The first meeting in Everett was simple and powerful. A cry for the unsaved was heard from Toni Tolsa aka "The Finnish Flame". Much of the session was spent in prayer for lost souls. Ben, a member of our team, lead a local Everett man to the Lord!!!

Tomorrow we move to Herb Marks' church - Family Life Center. This is a huge answer to prayer as Pastor Marks has opened his doors on very short notice. Please lift him and his church up and bless them for their openness to the Tour.

The adventure continues...

Blessings,
